“I don’t believe anything. I see things,” Trump replied.
If that don’t wrap Trump up in a neat bow, I don’t know what does…
Yes, Trump sees plenty, typically new marks for his latest con.
Back to the magic words litmus test, I see.
Trump is unable to modify his hatred.
Where are the Kerry flip flop sandals when you need them.
He has taken mendacity to stratospheric levels.
You just know that the minute he gets in front of the salivating knuckle dragging masses at his rallys that he will flip again and say something completely racist/jaw dropping stupid/lying statement. He can’t seem to help himself
All Hillary’s team needs to do is to gather some key words that will set him off.
Kind of like my dog when I say SQUIRREL! He will start running in circles yapping.
The office gossip and slanderer does exactly the same thing–spreads all kinds of vicious innuendo, and when someone asks them to come out flatfooted and say what they mean they start crawfishing. Meantime the slander goes circulating out there and nine out of ten people can’t sort out truth from fiction. George Washington would grab Trump by the shoulder and bang his head against the wall for doing this kind of crap.
Wow, he wants to call Obama a terrorist and does when he’s at a rally of followers that believe Obama is a terrorist, but when he’s on a “news” show he can’t say all the bull shit he says in a room full of idiots, but he won’t fully deny it either. What a complete and utter charlatan.
Ahhh, so close to actually sounding almost not completely insane…but just can’t do it.
Let’s see how the “Sane Trump 2.0” attempt lasts, I am putting bets on 2 weeks.
I’d say that’s about 1.95 weeks too high.
He will backtrack on every thing he has said in time, the wall, the ban on Muslims,mass deportations.
George Washington really hated walls, did he?
I just finished reading Erik Larson’s book In the Garden of the Beasts. It chronicles Hitler’s rise to through the eyes of the U S Ambassador Dodd 1933 to the night of the long knives. Our friend Mr. Trump is a match for Hermann Goring. Goring’s capacity for making outlandish charges against people and making them stick through manipulation of the media was the beginning of manipulation of the “fast” media–radio, TV, and the internet. Goring’s use of the radio evolved into Roy Cohn’s use of TV during the McCarthy hearings. Cohn, as Trump’s lawyer and close friend for 13 years, passed this dark art on to Trump, who plays these TV interviews along with the Social Media like a 21st Century incarnation of Goring.
I am so, so sick of this man. Make him go away. Please. Please?
“I look at what he does. And I look at what he says. And I look at what he doesn’t say,” Trump later added. “How do you solve a problem if you’re unwilling to discuss it or unwilling to name it?”
Trump is exactly right. How do you solve a problem if you don’t call it by a certain name? When folks go to the doctor, they have to explain they have, say, Type 2 Diabetes. Saying things like, “I’ve got blood sugar diabetes” makes it impossible for the doctor to know what you’re talking about or how to even begin treating you. Same with influenza. What the hell is the flu? The doctors can’t treat that, they only know “influenza”. And if you have a repair person come to your house to fix the “icebox”, they may start working on your toilet! If a friend has a headache and asks for Aleve, I never know what to do or what they’re asking because all I have is Tylenol.
No doubt, that will cost him. No pivoting to some make-believe center now.
Ah but if he does how much of his core, as in crazy racist nutjobs, does he lose? He is essentially in a corner of his own making. He can try to become your typical GOP candidate with dog whistles and lies, but then he would lose his unashamed racist supporters. And if he tries to appease them then he loses everyone else.
His problem is not just his statements, its the political ground he has staked as his “center.”
A sound “belief”, that one. And I “don’t believe” Trump is a pedophile, but I would not bet on it.
I hope so. He risks finally pissing off his base and no one else will believe him after Clinton runs commercials of him repeatedly saying he’d do those things. He’s locked himself into his positions so tightly that he simply can’t pivot away.
